nary vessels, and arranged to fit the mouth of various vessels of different sizes, and to securely hold the cover in place against accidental displacement.

The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations of the same, which will be more fully described hereinafter and then pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corres onding parts in all the views.

7 step form and succeeding series of seats hav- 'ingthe ste s in ascending and descending shape, as W1 1 be readily understood by reference to Figs. 1 and 2 The steps C on one face of the cover A alternate with corresponding steps C on the other face, so that an eX- ceedingly large number of annular seats are rovided to permit of fitting the cover on a arge number of vessels of different sized openings or months.

As shown in Fig. 3, the cover D is provided on its upper face with a centrally-arranged knob E, and. on its under face with annular seats F arranged in two series, the seats in each series ap earin in step form and in ascending and escen ing shape.

From the foregoing it, will be seen that by having the seats arranged in the manner described, a very snug fitis had on the mouth of the vessel to be covered, and the cover is securely held in place on the mouth owing to the arrangement of the seats in ste form, so that the cover is not liable to acci ental displacement.

The'cover shown in Figs. 1 and 2 can be used with either face down and as the seats on the opposite faces alternate, it is evident that an extremely large number of seats are provided for engagement with vessels of diferent sizes.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A cover for household and culinary ves.

sels having concentric annular seats on its under face arranged in series, the seats in each series being arranged in step form and one series of seats surrounding the other series. v 2. A cover for household and culinary vessels having its under face provided with con centric annular seats for engagement with the mouth of the vessel, the seats being arranged in series, and the seats in each series appearing in step form, the seats of one series increasing in diameter in the direction of the top of the cover and the seats of the other series increasing in diameter in the direction Y of the bottom of the cover.

3. A cover for household and culinary vessels, having a central knob on its upper face,

and a lurality of concentric annular seats on its un er face arranged in ste form, the seats being arranged in series, t e seats of one series progressively increasing in diameter from the top seat downward, and the seats of the other series progressively decreasing in diameter from the top seat downward. 4. A cover for household and/culinary vessels having each face provided with a central knob, an outer series of concentricfannular seats on each face arranged in step form, and concentric annular seats on each face arranged in step form and within the said outer series of seats.-

5] A cover for household and culinary vessels, having each face proyided witha central knob and concentric annular seats ar- I name to this specification in the ranged in step form, the seats of one face two subscribing witnesses. being positioned at radial distances from the common center of the two faceswhich alter '5 mate in length with the radial distances of the seats on the other face.

In testimony whereof I have signed my Witnesses: THEo. G. Hos'rER, I
